As part of its 2017 Summer of Play tour, Nintendo is taking its Switch and 3DS systems across the country so families everywhere can experience the latest installments in beloved franchises like Zelda, Super Mario, Mario Kart, Splatoon and ARMS firsthand.

The Nintendo games launching in the first part of the year, such as The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD (Wii U) or Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games (3DS), are going to include some fun amiibo functionality and use a wide variety of different compatible amiibo figures.

Nintendo won a patent case in California federal court, marking the second time it has prevailed against Technology Properties Limited LLC, Phoenix Digital Solutions LLC and Patriot Scientific Corporation, all of which are patent-licensing companies.

Nintendo's New Nintendo 3DS will launch in North America as part of a special bundle ($219.99) on Sept. 25, which includes the new hand-held system, the upcoming Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer game, two cover plates and one amiibo card.

New Nintendo 3DS XL offers a number of new enhancements, featuring a wider range of controls with the addition of a C Stick and ZL/ZR buttons, stable 3D via face-tracking technology and built-in NFC functionality for communication with amiibo figures.
